I just woke up mpments from a fabulous tiki dream, I was at a church sale and started finding tikis EVERYWHERE. Well actually I was supposed to represent my mom at some old lady chuirch function cause my mom couldnt come, but the old ladies were having a flea market on the side... At first there were no mugs but then if you looked closely at the shelves, they would start to reveal themselves to you..... you'd see faces amongst the knick knacks, peering out. The best was a Kon Tiki Montreal mug that looked like a black Tiki Bob except with an ass like Shecky... tiki candle holders.... giant mugs. Westwoods with lids. Strange Moai mugs. All sorts of weird and wondeeful mugs I had never seen before. Mugs from Seattle bars long gone. I filled up a shopping bag with mugs and STILL there were more mugs coming!

Finally one old lady came to get me and was getting upset I was missing the meeting, so I reluctantly left the sale. I picked up my baby (I suddenly had a cute roly poly asian baby boy) and gave him the Montreal mug to play with. On the way to the meeting I passed tome TC people I didnt know and we compared mug finds. Everyone had found good stuff but I had found the best I thought, with my Montreal mug.

Then I went to the old lady meeting, but as I was sitting in the meeting, I spied more mugs in a back room, and made an excuse that I needed to take care of my fussing baby, and took off to shop more. Suddenly I was naked but I found a vintage dress & bra fairly quickly in the shop & threw it on. I went to the back room and it was full of 'Mextiki' and 'Textiki' - hybrid tikis of a sort, and I filled another bagfull! I also found some hawaiian curtains and a giant quilt that TC people had been secretly embroidering for me, that said WELCOME TIKIFISH! But had little farm animals on it.
